I'm obviously for strict gun regulations, in the US and elsewhere, but don't kid yourself that it will turn the US into Japan or anything even remotely close. The problem in the US is that there are 300 million guns already in circulation. Even if you banned every gun sale tomorrow, it would go very little ways towards solving the problem of gun homicide generally.
